Phil Lee

The Fall and Further Decline of the Mighty King of Love (Palookaville Records)

Whether or not the legends
surrounding Phil Lee as a Cain-raising outlaw are true, his songwriting is
infused with genuine grit and he sings his compositions with authenticity. His
thoughts on broken love and living out of a suitcase are brought to life on
tracks that distill commanding soul, bluesy rumination and country twang into
potent Americana rock. Lee treats the boundaries between genres as figments of
someone else’s imagination.
